[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice ya I seen the newer ones they came out with ... Kinda sucks for all of us who bought it when they first came out lol.

I am selling mine and my trident kraken .. Going just TPU thin style ..
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I just ordered my replacement from Otterbox, belt clip broke and they are sending a free replacement. Good customer service. I'm looking at the Ballistic, one seller on eBay has them for $35 free shipping. I'm getting tired of having to type carefully in portrait to get q and p...
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya just becareful man ballistic just dropped a new line of HC cases.. Some sellers on ebay may be selling older ones for a high price.. I bought a older about a month ago for 20 bucks free ship..
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I did email them. They said this is the new design and they got them in a couple of weeks ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Cool. I will have to check it out see what the new one looks like.. I ordered that blue tpu hybrid case .. Thing I didn't like about ballistic is I had to ditch my zagg I had on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Here's the link.

[HTC EVO 3D] jbounce:
The old Ballistic HC model # was HA0712-M005.

The new one is Ballistic HA0850-M005.

The new design is much better because of the water resistant features.
[HTC EVO 3D] Georgen125x:
I have the ballistic hc case for the htc evo 3d and there is a halo from the flash in all my night time photos. I really like this case but I may have to switch back to my otterbox if I can't find a fix. Is anyone else having this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Had this issue too. Remove the plastic covering the two wholes in the case and you should be good.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nocturnal86:
To each his own but jeez i dont understand these super chunks cases lol
[HTC EVO 3D] daiash:
will the HA0850-M005 fit European gsm evo 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
It should. I believe the GSM is the same form.
[HTC EVO 3D] daiash:
Awesome ordered one from ebay coming to me from USA should have it in a few days.

cant wait

and it's the newer version
[HTC EVO 3D] daiash:
Had the case.

Awesome!

Not as big as I thought it would be though :D

Only slight downside is screen quality through the built in screen protector

and the extra silicone layer could be a little bit tighter fitting.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
Final Decision

Going with the Ballistic HC :)
[HTC EVO 3D] daiash:
really getting used to the ballistic now use it most of the time without the silicone layer...
[HTC EVO 3D] osrix:
Love the ballistic HC got the new one now with the port covers, best case ive ever had! No dust and not that big. much smaller than the otterbox and easier to pocket.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
Yeah I love the Ballistic without the silicone. It is not sharp on the ear.. it does not block the edge of the screen. Very nice case and has the kickstand on it. Looking at purchasing SEIDO dock so I can dock it with this case.
[HTC EVO 3D] thanhly179:
Wow, these case look fatastic! In Vietnam, we can buy Nillkin and Otterbox but the price is quite high, around $22 per one ^^ I wish I could have one like yours :o
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I just got the Ballistic HC after having the Otterbox, big difference! Its so much better designed.

One thing I noticed is a difference in radio, cell, WiFi,data all seem to be better. I know some have posted that the Otterbox seems to somehow block some signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] crashnova:
i have both the the otterbox defender and the ballistic hc. i favor the ballistic more the waterproof mesh is a great feature and the removable rubber part is as well. only thing that bothers me sometimes is the screen protector doesnt seem like its flush with the screen or doesnt stick like it should. i recently put a zagg screen protector on it and it seems to stick now but looks weird sometimes. other than than the ballistic is great. might go for the trident kraken next.
[HTC EVO 3D] ph37rd:
How is the call quality? I find with the Defenders on my EVO V 4G and my wife's EVO Design 4G that we get terrible feedback/echoing. Seems the holes for the mics don't line up properly. Anyone care to comment on the Ballistic cases?
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
The ballistic HC doesn't affect call audio. I may have mentioned this earlier in this thread, but switched from the Otterbox and signals, cell, WiFi and Bluetooth are all much better. Dunno why, but I can get about 20 more feet WiFi with the ballistic.
[HTC EVO 3D] Werewolfino:
It is possible have picture in HDMI and sound in phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
No. Besides, this isn't the thread for that. Try the Q&A thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] Xerc:
GO BALLISTIC!! :D i can't count how many times my 1 yr old daughter have drop/thrown my HTC EVO 3D, yet no damage at all. :good:
[HTC EVO 3D] leoiden:
where can i buy one
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I got mine on ebay.
[HTC EVO 3D] leoiden:
nothing there or craigslist
[HTC EVO 3D] Kolma:
My phones bezel started to peel off randomly one day so I thought

F*** IT

GETTING A BALLISTIC HC

and they were nowhere to be found...

Ended up getting a Trident Kraken since No way I'm going to deal with all the complains on the Defender and not being able to use the sides of the screen as nicely.

Pretty decent case. feels sturdy enough, only issue I had was after dropping phone (accidentally) The case came loose a little.

I'm assuming I didn't put it on right :silly:
[HTC EVO 3D] naxsandbew:
ballistic HC :good:,,,its great,perfect match for my evo3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Badger94:
Time to switch cases!
[HTC EVO 3D] adamdabadboy:
I have the Ballistic HC and it is ridiculously strong. I only use the first layer, no silicon or holster because it won't fit in my pocket :D I get looks from people when I use it and they always ask "can I drop it?"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
I will start university Soon. I went to my local Best Buy and i saw some good rebates on Laptops and Netbooks. But i always wanted to get a tablet for School and Late night movie watching/e-mail checking (because going on my gaming rig just to check some mails isn't always practical, and the 4.0Inch on my nexus s is just to small). I will have to do some word and powerpoint documents on the go (mainly editing because i do most of it on my Desktop computer), i heard Polaris does a good job, is this true?

Is the Asus Transformer Prime a good alternative to your average College Netbook?

How much will it cost in Canada? (With the deck of course)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
Bump. Need some advice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Freemantig:
i have the original transformer and with the dock it is far better than any netbook ive owned. even in terms of power. i have a few office apps installed and all of them work great. the tegra 2 out performs my netbook in terms of graphics. can hardly play anything on my netbook. on top of that the prime has a tegra 3 wich will only be better. so in my opinion the prime would be superior. its a tablet and a netbook and some what of a gaming device with some very usefull office apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
Thanks exactly what i needed. Just pre-ordered it with the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
can you do all the office tasks needed on the transformer? personally i would think windows or mac is a must in college because all the different software that they might utilize during college. a tablet to me seems like an additional accessory..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
When you say "all the office tasks needed," that's a bit too broad. The Transformer+dock does NOT replace a "real" notebook (e.g., one running a full office suite) for anything beyond simple editing and text entry. Things like headers and footers aren't supported (either at all, or very well), inserting images, etc. It does work extremely well for taking notes (and I personally use Evernote, although for business meetings as opposed to classes; same difference).

If I were in college and could afford it, I'd have a good desktop-replacement notebook sitting at my dorm room or apartment for doing hardcore, complex work, and a Transformer Prime+dock for carrying around campus taking notes. The combination of very light weight, extremely long battery life (18 hours or so, or a nice, very full day on campus), and the ability to read textbooks in tablet format (which is SO much more comfortable than on a notebook) would be awesome.

If you simply cannot afford both a notebook and a tablet, then I guess I'd opt for as lightweight a notebook as I could get that has as long battery life as I could fine. Today, I'd probably take a look at an Ultrabook, to save the money over a MacBook Air and because I'm a Windows guy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The Tegra 3 Chip is FAR more powerful than any Atom chip (netbook x86 ULV chip). It has much more power saving features and is far more efficient (18-hour battery life O_O). The Prime is will be fully capable of running Windows 8 which Microsoft can supply with an ARM variant of Office. By then of course, OpenOffice, Google Docs, Etc. will all be compatible with Windows 8 ARM. Android also has some wonderful variants, but Google Docs needs to be a lot better for Tablets.

Get the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redbullcat:
Google Docs is a web client, it doesn't need an app or program on a PC.

I'm going to buy the Prime, hopefully. I can use it for making notes from classes, and when I get home, all the work I do will be uploaded to Docs. Then I can reread them and format them with headers, footers and stuff like that on my MacBook Air or Linux PC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
You cannot use Google Docs on a web browser on the Transformer with the keyboard for some stupid reason. Also, the Google Docs app is really ****ty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
Hopefully for most people, the Transformer Prime can replace both a tablet *and* a netbook, ultraportable or MBA. It's a hassle to transfer files back and forth to a PC or Mac. And it would mean one less computer to feed+support.

For me personally, the only issue would be the lack of OneNote, but it shouldn't be a show-stopper. Polaris should be enough for schoolwork, but I'm not in school anymore, so that's only my guess. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] btmec:
I don't think a tablet is a good replacement for a desktop for going to uni. I use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 for my classes to carry around with me and do my work on my desktop. The one feature I love is textbooks on the tablet. I use them with EZ PDF Reader. I can carry 5 different books easily in my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
OneNote was released for iOS awhile ago for some reason, yet not Android. However, there are many free awesome alternatives to OneNote such as Evernote!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pesto242:
What about Docs To Go our QuickOffice? I have them both and they work very well. They allow most (not all) of the features you normally use in MS	Office.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
Thanks for all the responses. I pre-orded a prime. I had a look at Polaris, and its just what i need. Simple and quick editing. (All the work i do is on my desktop).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plvaulter06:
I was just graduated after being a college student for 5 years. I have a Transformer 1 and I would say no, not a good replacement for a netbook.

I would love to tell you to get a transformer prime because i am a huge Android enthusiast, but realistically i would recommend a 12" netbook with a duel-core atom processor for around $500, and if you weren't satisfied with that, adding a Solid State Disk would be a huge performance boost.

In my opinion for writing papers, Android will not cut it. I would also predict that will change rather quickly with updates and improvements to the google docs app.

(I wrote most of my papers on Google Docs from a windows PC)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
AFAIK, OneNote for iOS totally sux compared to the PC version. So, probably Polaris is enough. The new Quickoffice 5 also looks pretty good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I intend to replace my netbook with Transformer Prime, since that netbook - while fast and everything with Ubuntu - has decided to die on me with its battery.

What I used the netbook for was mostly some quick critical bug-fixing on some web projects, browsing the web, watching movies and taking notes during lectures. It was a supplement to my desktop PC where I did my major work.

It is a somewhat risky manouvre to replace that with a tablet. It is not nearly as good environment for some web programming work, browser itself is rather limited and office software options are not even close to good enough.

But there are a lot of things that the tablet does much better for my on-the-go lifestyle. The battery is tremendous, for one. I can travel between countries and not have to worry about a charger for quite a while. Then it is also more convenient to use in buses and trains and planes. It is also better for reading and will be friendly with my Android phone far more.

In the end of the day I will find myself using a tablet much more than I have used by netbook. While it is a trade-off in some ways, I am fine with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Excellent review of what a tablet is for.

Yes it's not as good for some task, but it's also way better for others.

External Hardware is also generaly much better at a same price point (build quality, screen, battery).

I'm tired of people who doesn't have a tablet saying "bla buy a laptop! it does everything better ! A tablet should cost 50 dollars to be worth it!"

No it doesn't do everything better! And for what it does better you have to pay the price in $$ or in weight, size, heat and poor battery life.

And generaly speaking screens on laptop are pretty much all awfull, don't know why though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
Thanks for your insight kristovaher, i really enjoyed it.

I pre-ordered the prime because i already have an Netbook (Somewhat old but still works fast and great). I have to agree that the Asus isnt the best thing to have to make documents, but generally speaking i would rather have a tablet in class to take notes and load some sent documents than a plain old netbook. I used to read books and watch movies on my Netbook, it was the most uncomfortable thing ever, so i hope this tablet will give me a good experience in that aspect.

As I mentioned earlier, most of the work i do is in my dorm (which i call home :P) so this is a great alternative for my old netbook.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CyberPunk7t9:
If there was a netbook to compare the Asus Prime to, it's none but another product by ASUS themselves, The Asus Zenbook UX21.

You get an Intel i5 CPU (Sandy Bridge), solidstate 128GB drive (Sand Force), USB 3.0 and the windows 7 landmass of comparability.

But comes two things in this comparison,

Price difference is about $230 more for the UX21 over a 64GB Prime+Keyboard dock. That actually doesn't seem all bad considering the specs of the netbook.

Battery life, the UX21 is estimated at 5 hours operation time. The Prime+Dock.. well, estimated at 18 hours. That is 13 hours difference!

Really, The battery life of this thing is a key feature as the guys stated in the posts above.

Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] [TSON]:
can that even be considered a netbook if its using the i5..? sounds like a multitasking laptop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
And the screen on the Zenbook is much worse than the Prime one.

Definition is not the same obviously but you don't need as much pixel on Android as on Windows. You need space to move around all those windows whereas Android is built for extra small screen so 1280x800 is pletty enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXX-KP:
I would rather prefer a netbook over a tablet as far as operating system is concern !!

because in the notebook or any netbook you can install any operating system that you want to...!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newtybar:
My biggest gripe is that the tablet office suite isn't that robust (any of them Quickoffice, Polaris, etc.).

Ok for simple notes and Word docs, but the Excel is a joke. No way you can do any kind of modeling on tablets; formulas, linking, macros, etc are not supported and if they are it's a poor implementation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
I use my Transformer TF101 in class (college) every day. I use Evernote for notes (perfect), Jota Text Editor for light HTML developing and for Word Processing. Why Jota over Polaris? Jota supports EVERY comman on the keyboard and is extrememely stable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
I think - yes. Keep in mind that with good stylus (like Adonit Jot for example) you can do handwriting on the tablet. It's also easier to read PDF on a tablet (without the keyboard). I use my Transformer for note taking at university and have all school books in PDF form for it (and I write on the books with stylus in ezPDF! great thing).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeavenlyWinds:
Thanks you two. You are really making me want my Transformer even more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Curious do you do your note taking on a "blank sheet" or over lecture slides? If you do it over lecture slides do you use the ezPDF program?

Wish I could get my text books in pdf. I have only had 1 textbook so far that I know of that was available in pdf
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
I would agree with everyone saying that it can't replace a laptop, but that each serves its own purpose.

I'm in college right now and use a slim, midpack 14" i5 laptop that was about $500. I don't have a desktop, like most college students. My laptop is good enough to function as a desktop. I may have to upgrade later, though, since I'm an engineering student, and once engineers get into their 3rd-4th years they obviously have to do a ton of stuff on computers.

I thought I would take notes in class on my laptop, but I gave up on that idea long ago. Even though my laptop is pretty slim, I still find that it is quite simply still too bulky when I have my laptop, textbooks, notebooks, and all that other stuff in my backpack. It's not something I can do every day.

I'm probably going to be getting the Transformer Prime for Christmas for several reasons. I'd love to have something I can take notes on more easily than my laptop, especially something which has a touchscreen so I can actually draw stuff out like graphs for math classes. I'd love to have something to watch videos on and listen to music on and play some games on and do media stuff in general on that is easier to use when I'm chillin in bed than my laptop. Lastly, I just really like Android in general and think the Transformer Prime is the first tablet that makes tablets worth taking a look at.

I'd say if you have the means, the Transformer Prime is an excellent accessory to have in college, and it's why I'm getting one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
IMHO, I don't think that the Transformer Prime can make a desktop replacement. But for travel, school, mobility, etc., the advantages outweigh the negatives.

Especially for school or offsite work, the epic 16-hour battery life means never having to worry that it won't last through the whole day.

ICS and Chrome Apps

The only thing that stops me from acquiring this tablet/netbook is the availability of netbook apps.

Will ICS ship with the true Chrome Browser?

Will the Chrome Web store be available to the eee transformer prime?

Regards
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blueman101:
The Chrome App store is not an app store, they are just links to other websites.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Award Tour:
Do NOT get a tablet to replace a school laptop. You will regret it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CyberPunk7t9:
The google browser in ICS is updated in many ways and it can sync your Chrome bookmarks with your phone/tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nwfrog:
Convergence ChromeOS-Android...

What I was aiming at is the ChromeOS functionality.

The eee transformer prime would make a fantastic ChromeOS device as well as an Android Tablet, all packed into one single OS (Hybrid).

If the eee transformer does not get access to serious office suite or IDE (for developers), it will just remain a toy (a very fast toy).

In that case it can only be considered as an accessory along with a true computer (being a laptop or desktop).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Award Tour:
My feelings exactly but throw in the full adobe creative suite too. If my old Pine view atom net book could handle it, I'm sure the Tegra 3 can. The Adobe touch apps are neat but severely limiting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
won't happen. 1GB RAM just isn't going to be enough to handle graphics editing. but there is no reason on the planet why no one has come up with a really good office suite for android yet. Having looked in the office suite comparison thread its clear that they all have their own faults.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Award Tour:
That's funny, I was using Adobe CS back when 1 GB was a lot of RAM. I also had CS 5 running on that 1GB, single core net book too. Premiere may not work and it won't blaze but it was good enough to do photoshop, illustrator or inDesign work on a pinch. Dreamweaver would be a okayish web IDE too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mi7chy:
Wishful thinking that Asus will release the Prime with specs matching the Lenovo LePad K2 (1.6GHZ Tegra 3 and 2GB DRAM) to justify full retail $750 for 64GB flash version plus dock. Otherwise, it's a little hard to stomach considering decent AMD E-450 APU netbooks go for ~$400.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
Sure, if you compare it to the regular laptop, it's not a great value. But if you compare it to an iPad + MBA, then the Transformer + dock suddenly looks like a steal of a deal!

Hey guys,

Ok now this is gonna sound kinda noobish, but thats ok, im ok with that LOL...Basically everytime XDA, RW, A/C, ect, ect, posts a tweet on Twitter I get a notification text to my device. Now im new to Verizon so Basically my 500 Text package isnt gonna work. Im trying to figure out another way to get Notified from twitter when one of these blogs make a twitter post. I think i can use Google Voice but im not sure if that can be used with Verizon or what...whata you guys think?...any suggestions would be great guys..thanks again!!

I've spent a lot of time reading through this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109983&page=1 thread and have a quick question. If I am seeing a H+ on my SGS2 does that mean I have 4G? For reference I have a 4g sim but when I gave the IMEI of my phone they didn't accept it for a 4g plan and gave me a 3g plan. I have a 4G IMEI but am wondering if I need to do this or not given the fact I am seeing the H+
[General Questions and Answers] kschumake83:
i do not think so because my captivate shows the h+ symbol when i am on cm7 and i am pretty sure that i am not getting 4g speeds the highest speeds i have seen through speed test apps are 6mbps which i think is still 3g. all the h+ symbol means is that we can get the higher upload speeds not too much more in the way of download speeds.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Att so called 4g is really only 3.5 compared to the rest of the world. The icons are just that icons. Like mine says 10g. Use a speed check app to see if you are getting decent speeds for your area.(which can change depending on where you are)
